In honour of the concert I went to on Monday I give you an out of sequence musical addition to your day: In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning

Because I Miss the Flying Monkeys

I’m about to head back to the land of Oz. Which, in this instance, involves about thirty hours of travel time and being awake for just shy of two days. So that’s going to be fun. Usually I don’t start hallucinating until I pass the fifty hour mark though, so it should be fine. But […]

I spent four days last week at the SCBWI Summer Conference in LA (writers, agents and publishers, oh my). It’s a conference I always enjoy.
